    Do you have the calories per gram correct? Should be about 1.6 calories per gram. (1.575 to be exact).

    You did correctly, but you also have to pick an entry for dry if it's dry or an entry for cooked if it's cooked.

    200 grams dry or cooked? It’s best to weight it out dry.

    If that was uncooked it's probably about right.
